Please review! I would love to hear your thoughts!
Brax's POV
"TEGAN!" I yelled racing after her. She had always been fast but I was faster. Normally. I ran as fast as I could with Charlie running as fast as she could behind me.
"TEGAN! STOP TEGAN!" I yelled again. We were attracting a lot
of attention and as I passed one of the nurses I told her to call the cops. She did as I continued racing after Tegan.
What if she hurts her? What if she goes too far with her plan of revenge? I know she's mad at me but she doesn't need to bring Charlie and Lexi into this.
My heart was pounding as I chased her knowing she had a huge advantage. We had reached the car park and Ruby and Casey were just arriving ahead of us. I yelled at them to stop her.
They tried but she skinned them easily. Now all four of us were chasing Tegan. Tegan reached the main road and disappeared into some trees along the road. I followed knowing Casey would follow me. I knew the girls wouldn't come in. they would return to the hospital and talk to the cops.
Charlie's POV
I stopped gasping for breath. Ruby stopped too and we made our way back to the hospital. I didn't realise I was crying until Ruby started hugging me in an attempt to comfort me. I sobbed into her shoulder.
What if she hurt her? She's barely three days old and already her life is in such danger. She shouldn't even be out of the hospital in her condition. What if Tegan is too stupid or reckless? What if a stupid accident means I lose both my girls? I couldn't live with it.
When we returned to the hospital the cops had arrived. I told them what had happened and they promised to find them. I ran into my room and got dressed. I was just about to leave when Sid stopped me.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
"To look for my daughter."
"You're not in the right condition to-"
"Sid please! What would you do if it was Dex or Indi? Would you just sit back and wait?"
He just nodded and signalled for me to go. I thanked him and raced out of the hospital. The cops had begun searching the forest. It was surrounded and other places were being checked too. I managed to slip pasted one of the cops guarding the forest and sneaked in. I had slipped away from Ruby in the hospital. I began walking through the eerie forest. It wasn't long before I met Casey.
"Where are they?" I asked.
"I dunno. I lost them half way in." he continued walking and I continued in the other direction. It wasn't long before I found Tegan hidden a cluster of trees. Lexi was crying and Tegan was trying to calm her. Brax had obviously lost her.
"Tegan?" I said carefully.
Her head snapped up.
"Please Tegan give her back to me."
"NO!"
"Tegan you said you have a daughter?" she nodded.
"Well then imagine being in my situation. How would you feel if she was taken and you feared for her safety?"
"I-I-I…"
"Please? I just want my little girl back." I said. Tegan looked apprehensive. But after a long silence she walked over to me and handed me Lexi. Lexi stopped crying once I held her and she drifted off to sleep.
"I never wanted to hurt anyone. I just wanted Brax to suffer."
"Why?" I asked.
"Because he didn't want me." Just then the cops burst through the trees and hand cuffed Tegan.
"I'M SORRY CHARLIE!" she screamed as she was dragged away. Brax walked through the bushes as she was being lead away. He didn't say anything but instead just stared at Lexi. Suddenly I noticed something Tegan had dropped as she was being lead away.
A lit match.
I pointed it out to Brax and we began to run as the grass caught fire. The fire followed us as we ran.
Ruby's POV
I saw Casey leaving the forest. I rushed up to him. I told him I couldn't' find Charlie and he said she's inside the forest. We stood nervously on the edge of the forest as we waited for some sign of life.
Eventually the cops dragged Tegan out and we breathed a sigh of relief.
As she passed us she whispered.
"I hope you've said your goodbyes."
It was then I saw the orange flames.
And a split second later I heard Charlie scream.
Next Time
Will Brax, Charlie or Lexi survive the fire?
What happens when Ruby and Casey risk their lives to save the three trapped?
Please review! I know didn't include the second clue but Tegan told Charlie instead! I would love to know what you think! Any questions? Expectations?
